Found an old photoshop of my car...

Found this, i did it in about 5 minutes, what do you guys think? main thing i want is the sideskirts... not the spoiler or rear apron i'm thinking a mustang rear apron i like how that looks.

OMG RICE!@!!!@!!11

i dont much care for that style of sideskirts on any car, but so long as you do a good job on the bodywork it should be fine.

I think it would look better if you made the rear scoop/vent smaller and left the bottom line of the skirt alone, just my $.02...

I think it looks cool, esp if the brake vents actually work.

People on this furum never think about speed bumps I guess. What is it going to do besides "look". Bottom out easier, add weight and only questionably improve stability if any. Sorry, just saying the way I see it.

Absolutely disgusting. The sideskirts are hideously out of place when combines with the classic lines of the FB...I mean, it looks REALLY, REALLY bad.

The front air dam is real btw... and i took the body kit off of a supra and pasted it on the car so it's not actually proportionate or anything, the picture of the supra was at different angles and ****.

looks pretty neat but it better be fast to back up the go-fast looks.

80's sports car modernly rice-ized!

Are you sure the rear wing couldn't be three feet higher?

I don't know about that car photoshoped,,,,whatever.

but if you get the mode one, and you still want to vent
the rear brakes. Cutting the openings in the 'glass is easy, first you need a plan on how to route the air duct
from the opening to the brake caliper, and have it blow right on the disk,without looking stupid, because you'll be able to see it , in the wheel well. Now if, a vent is placed between the door and the wheel well, flush to the body, it will look better and also hide the air ducting.

I'm not sure what i want to do now... i saw some awesome second gen sideskirts on erebuni that i want to get the blitz is just way too bulky for the car... but i don't know what they'd look like once i really got them on in person... i can't decide what i want to do, but i already started ricing the car with the bumper that i can't get off, if it were up to me now i'd have left the body stock and put some rims on it and went nuts under the hood.
